Raccoon Sunrise
This probably isn't up to the quality of recent posts, but I'd still like to get some feedback if anyone has an interest.

The Leavenworth Riverfront Park has a little island in the Wenatchee River, Blackbird Island, that is thick with towering Cottonwoods. I set up on it's shore yesterday morning and got off a few decent shots. The sandy shore had lots of raccoon footprints.

Sony R1, 4 exposures from 1/13 to 1/1000 @ f/11.

Tk's Luminosity masks, Marc's web sharpening.

It's creepy and I like most of it. If the raccoon tracks were more pronounced or obvious it would be better.

I like the second photo much better for both comp and color.
